Queen of Mercury wrote: Hello. I create a folder with audio, cover which I design (it's really similar to Rainbow because all concert is similar too), tags, programs from tour, photos, ticket and information about owner the tape and who do it speed correction. Enjoy: link You can see cover here. Maybe I upload other version of cover with color photo not white draft. Greetings from Poland :)

Thanks. It's not a master? So in theory an upgrade could be somewhere?

link They brought in the Brighton Rock ending in November 1974 (after 7 or 8 shows), and played it that was through May 1975 (the remaining 67 or 68).

Thistleboy1980 wrote: Okay, firstly, I'd like to say a big thank you to David for the show. It's a shame it got out the way it did, but it's greatly appreciated nonetheless. However, now seeing that there was another transfer, with a better quality result, can I ask why it's such a big hoo-ha that this one leaked? I'm not trying to be disrespectful with that question, but if you have a superior version, then all isn't lost, surely? Using the superior version as your release on vinyl would surely still be a worthwhile project? (and would attract the support of the folk here with more scruples than Mercuryprick12?? Or, where you planning on releasing the "leaked" version? That would surely serve no purpose, as the main principle is that you get a pressed copy for yourself too? I see it's a second gen tape - which means that someone with a superior version again could be planning a release? I don't know the ins and outs of that side of it, so just asking: have YOU inadvertently leaked something without a go-ahead? With the utmost respect....I'm just trying to get my head around all of this :) Either way, I think you should still go ahead with your plan. Lots of things have been freely available before, and yet become collectable when pressed. Good luck!

The generation of the tape is pure speculation. It could be a copy of the original. It could be a copy of the copy. It could BE the original. It's certainly been kept nice and quiet amongst a load of other cassettes of Queen concerts for years. I've had it a few years myself after spending nearly 20 years looking for it (and not knowing if it even existed of course) and, as some people here will know if they remember things I've said in the past, I buy collections of bootleg audio and video material (or borrow if not for sale) from people who are now in the late 40's and 50's and have lost interest in collecting Queen. It's the best way to find upgrades and unknown recordings. I live in Sheffield by the way. I'm a local and that's why I've spent 2 decades looking for THIS recording above all others. Believe me, I feel like no stone has been left unturned (short of posting a full page advert in the local paper asking if anyone has it!) As for someone with a better version planning a release, I honestly don't think it's likely unless the improbable happens and some 60 year old man hears about this concert hitting the internet and thinks "Hey, I recorded that. Might still have the cassette somewhere. Wouldn't know what to do with it though and can't be bothered with Queen anymore anyway"! This tape has NOT been in trading circles until very recently.

brians wig wrote: OK Folks. Apparantly this recording is now available on a pressed CD from Breakdown (a Japanese bootleg firm I'm told). Didn't take them long did it?

The Real Wizard wrote: If everyone did that, then all the new music would stop. The bootleggers are going to make their money no matter what's out there. The more free music that's out there, the less people will buy bootlegs.

Unfortunately, it's probably only a matter of time before he's back under a new name I would think... Anyway, Enough of that.. Thanks for this. It's a very enjoyable recording. A shame about the circumstances surrounding it's release.

people on streets wrote: That's not true. Even if all tapers stopped sharing their audience recordings, plenty of new music would be out there for everyone to enjoy. In this day and age pro-shots, radiobroadcasts and internetbroadcasts are very common. Much unlike the situation in the 60s, 70s, 80s and even 90s.

I recommend you try to stealth tape (audio and video, two rigs) at a concert you visit. After you have done it, do the audio and video editing, color correcting etc. and make a nice MKV with chapters and share it for free on dime a dozen or some other torrent site seeing that only weeks later some japanese bootleg company made a blu-ray out of it.

The Real Wizard wrote: You're in the minority on that one. If the majority of the people who tape shows would be upset about this kind of thing, then places like Dimeadozen wouldn't still be having hundreds of new shows posted every day.

pittrek wrote: Cunts. Now I'm afraid to share the stuff I wanted to share - I don't want these cunts to make money of it. Especially when 99% of stuff I shared here for free was bootlegged after a few weeks :-(

brians wig wrote: The irony is that folks on other sites have been saying Sheffield isn't a good recording (Hmmm. I thought it the best of all the audience 1974 shows), yet at least one bootleg firm has bothered. Shame the artwork is shit and un-inspired.
